May went to her first ever AKC agility trail a week ago. I did not expect to Q at all but we did Q in Novice Standard on Sunday. May is a little shy and sometimes a lot of barking dogs can bother her. She handled herself well, handle the motel well, handle all the strange dogs around just fine. And we managed a Q. My intention was just to see where we needed work. We do need work on several things but we did better than expected.

It was nice to have a lady we take an occasional private lesson from working as gate steward on our Q run. It was music to my ears when she said my handling line was wonderful. I think with some more time and practice we just might make a good team out there.

She looks very confident, happy and fast in these pictures, so it sounds like you've come a long way! Pat yourself on the back and give her a cookie. XD

Can't wait to see more pictures and hear about more news in the future. Is this the first agility competition she's been to or have you trialed in other venues?

Nope, first ever. We will have our UKC debut this weekend and I do plan on running USDAA as well. Probably start that later. We are also doing herding, tracking and obedience so it takes a while. Too many things to do.
